“…Jacop et al have proposed a 3D-printed disposable clamp design that allows the performance of several procedures such as tightening and opening during intubation/extubation (Fig. 11 ) [ 89 ]. The main purpose of this equipment is to compress ETT and prevent aerosol emission, protecting the health of health workers from the viruses.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that is SARS-CoV-2, previously called 2019-nCoV, is a kind of human infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. Based on the prompt increase of human infection rate, COVID-19 outbreak was distinguished as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). By 2020, COVID-19 becomes a major health problem all around the world. Due to the battle against COVID-19, there are some adversities that are encountered with. The most significant difficulty is the lack of equipment for the COVID-19 battle. Lately, there is not sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE) for hospital workers on the front lines in this terrifying time. All around the world, hospitals are overwhelmed by the volume of patients and the lack of personal protective equipment including face masks, gloves, eye protection and clothing. In addition, the lack of nasal swabs, which are necessary components, that are used for testing is another issue that is being faced. There are a small number of respirators, which are emergency devices that help patients breathe for a short period of time. To overcome the limited number of equipment available, the foremost solution can be 3D printing that allows three-dimensional renderings to be realized as physical objects with the use of a printer and that revolutionized prototyping. Low-cost desktop 3D printers allow economical 3D models and guides but have less quality approvals. 3D printing is already well integrated into the process of COVID-19 battle by manufacturing the equipment that are convenient. The goals of this review are to explore the techniques of 3D printing for the equipment that are used for COVID-19 battle and evaluate the materials that are used for manufacturing and the manufactured equipment. Lastly, the advantages and disadvantages of 3D printing are figured out.

“…Use of endotracheal tube clamps have been suggested to reduce exposure of HCWs to aerosols. 26 Albeit disposable clamps are in use, these are not universal, and surgical clamps (forceps) can be used instead to clamp the endotracheal tube before TI and extubation. If a clamped endotracheal tube is used, the clamps should be removed only after the endotracheal tube cuff is inflated, and the endotracheal tube is connected to the ventilator.…”

A bstract The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has affected nearly all nations globally. The highly contagious nature of the disease puts the healthcare workers at high risk of acquiring infection, especially while handling airway and performing aerosol-generating procedures. The Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, through this position paper, aims to provide guidance for safe airway management to all healthcare workers dealing with airway in COVID-19 patients. How to cite this article Praveen Kumar G, Kulkarni AP, Govil D, Dixit SB, Chaudhry D, Samavedam S, et al.

“…The recent letter in the Journal from Jacob et al describes a technique for clamping an endotracheal tube (ETT) before connecting it to a ventilator circuit to attenuate the emission of aerosols during intubation of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients. 1 They suggest using ETT clamping and unclamping during intubation, extubation, and suctioning procedures. 1 Despite the protective effect of this method against exposure risk, it may potentially increase the risk of negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) induced by the increased negative intrathoracic pressure due to inspiratory efforts against the obstructed (clamped) upper airway.…”
